Abstract:
By destroying tumor vessels or directly killing tumor cells, high-intensity focused ultrasound ( HIFU) kills tumors or reduces tumor volume and decreases metastasis,lessens patients pain in advanced stage tumors and improves patients life quality. HIFU in combination with other therapies can kill more tumor cells, reduce long-term recurrence rate and achieve synergetic effect. HIFU therapy has many advantages, such as little trauma, small side effects and repeatable treatment and so on.
